Thanks Tim. I will start there by taking a piece of ceiling out to see if I can locate a JB. The cable to the old detector does not move much and my guess is JB is probably very close. I've got to get wires across the joists anyway as there are three spots currently on the wrong circuit.The smoke detector is actually a clue as that will have a permanent (unswitched) supply.
If a light is wired into the same joint box as the former smoke detector then as assumption can me made that there's both permanent and switched lives within the box.
